Original Build Journal thread: https://ratrodbikes.com/threads/iron-oxygen.119744/

To those that read my post in the discussion - some of this will be redundant. In March, I drove an hour and a half north to a farm in Manistee, Michigan where there was a "buy all or nothing" sale of bikes and parts of varying decay. I came home with a van-full, but the one I was after was a...

Picked up this Murray yesterday. I believe it's a 1962, and most likely a Strato Flite? Serial number MOU 70....200146. It's hard to tell as most of the identifying factors are missing. I'd like to find the tank and bezel for it ... don't care if it functions.

Photos are not mine - just an example of what I need to complete a mod/resto. I have Paypal or Venmo for each of our trading safety and I do not mind paying fees.

This past fall, my friend bought a 1942 Elgin at the Royal Oak Swap. I fell in love with it, and had I had a little more cash in my pocket at the time - it would have been mine. In November I found, what I was pretty sure was a 42, for sale about 4-1/2 hours away north of Chicago on Facebook...

Hello, as the header says, I'm looking for this Evans Commander chainguard OR the correct shape from another model.

Link to build thread https://ratrodbikes.com/threads/anchors-aweigh-aka-fighting-checkmates-riding-toward-the-finish-line.118361/ This build is a tribute to my son, Airman Georden C Cordle of the US Navy fighter squadron VFA-211 based out of Oceana, VA. He has always been my bike-building buddy...

Looking for 26" black with white pinstripes middleweight fenders to fit a Typhoon. The cleaner the better but don't need to be mint or perfect

I'm primarily interested in seeing what the bracket looks like for mounting a light (I'm assuming the small, circular bracket, parallel to the fork blades is for mounting a light?)

Picked up this Murray Comet VII this weekend down in Indiana. In the process of cleaning off rust I removed the front wheel and was surprised the front fender was not attached to the fork, (and on backwards) and was only attached to the wheel axle. Looks like something is missing from the fork...

Picked up this little honey yesterday. It is missing the original seat and grips (bars, too - but I have those)

Anyone have a Stimsonite no 15 lens, or a color flow tombstone housing complete with lens? Or, a source to locate? The one I have is just not going to cut it.

This old bent up thing was rusted in and is no longer functionable. I need one for my Build-off bike

is It possible to swap axle and bearings from a vintage front wheel into a modern cruiser wheel? Apologies if this has been answered. I did try and search first.

Alright build-offers, how do you all find the time to go to work, eat dinner, clean up, work on your project, have some semblance of family time and still try and do the right thing and check in on everyone’s project? Theres 62 builds in group 1 alone. If you spent just one minute per, that’s an...

This one is going to be a tribute to my son, Airman Georden C Cordle of the Fighting Checkmates of VFA-211 out of Oceana, VA. He and I were going to enter last year as he was not supposed to leave until August. They offered him a bunch of money to join early which derailed our plans. He's always...

Looking for a black 24” 3 speed Coaster brake rear wheel, approx 2” width to accommodate a Thick Brick. Shifter too if available but not necessary. Thanks

http://www.ratrodbikes.com/forum/index.php?threads/olive-oil.108712/ This is my third build-off and my second time actually finishing and completing on time! The frame was custom welded by a buddy of mine - traded an old GT iDrive to him for the frame. The cleaning up of welds and pinstriping...

Looking for the tank that will fit a Monark Rocket. Does not have to be original, doesn't even need to be the correct model as long as it will fit!
